SA 2023 No Return

Is anyone having any luck in the FT recruiting process? I was unable to get a return at my MM HC focused bank, which returned 7/17 due to the bank collapse (hint) and I am now struggling to even get an interview at LMM (think Stout Chicago). Feeling hopeless and wondering if I am alone in this.

LOL, this has to be Leerink. First off, LMM HC shop if we are being honest. Also, no return at an ehh shop = low marketability. Keep grinding.

 

You are far from alone lol I'm right there with you. Just keep grinding its definitely tough on morale tho given i just want to enjoy senior year after being ground to the bone all summer.
